4.9/5 (10884 ratings)

Description:This study offers an interpretation of the Puritan Antinomian controversy and an analysis of its wider and long-term social and cultural significance. Breen argues that the controversy both reflected and fostered larger questions of identity that would persist in Puritan New England throughout the 17th century: How much room for individualism among them of a more cosmopolitan nature? How did they respond to those who did not share their celebrated tolerance toward Quakers, Indians, and outside influences in general?; Central to Breen's study is the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Massuchusetts, a private military company modelled on the fashionable artillery gardens of London. Essentially an elite social club, this organization attracted a heterogeneous yet prominent membership whose diversity contrasted with the the social and religious ideals of the cultural majority.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
